Im new here! but not new the weight watchers, in 2008 I lost 3 stone, in 2009 I got married, then easter happened then my 30th birthday , then christmas and new year and somehow ive put over a stone back on! Im bigger than most at 20st 9lb so have a long journey, but I will do it this time!!

Congratulations, 3lbs is a great start to your weight loss, doesn't matter what you weigh we are all trying to lose weight. you should make yourself the zero points soup it is a great help for when you get really hungry. good luck your are doing great.

Thanks, ive not been keeping up with the online diary as I keep forgetting, but I am keeping a spreadsheet which i found on my pc, you put in the calories and sat fat for each meal and it adds them up for each day, and then week so is really helpful.
I did weigh in yesterday and lost another 3lb woohoo, so heres to next week and fingers crossed another loss!! Hope your doing well too.

New start weight: 20st 9lb -Jan 10

1st goal: get to 19 stone (hopefully before April)
2nd goal: get to 18 stone (hopefully before June)

Not looking forward to WI tomorrow, somehow I feel like ive eaton too much, feel very bloated I did have a sneak on the scales the other day (why do we do it?) and noticed a 1/2lb gain :sigh: but it was afternoon and I usually weigh in 1st thing in the morning, so could explain a slight difference but we will see tomorrow.

fingers crossed, feel like its taking ages to come off and I want to get down to about 16 stone asap, so that I can TTC been trying on and off now for years and because of my weight and PCOS its been hard, but the last few weeks im right clued up now with what im doing, going to try loose 10% while doing points and Low GI foods (and take A-Z vitamins) and then try again. normally my weight dont bother me too much, its just when it starts having an effect on my life that I realise I have to do something, and sooner rather than later!! Hows your weightloss coming along? I see your getting married next year too congratulations I was married last march.

for dinner tonight im having Cod in parsley butter sauce, a baked sweet potato and cabbage and carrots = 10.5 points (who would have thought sweet potato would be 5 points, it does weigh 295g though)

You seem really clued in! I'm trying not to over burden myself, I am not one of those people who rises to the challenge, when things get on top of me I hit the self destruct button. I'm gonna give myself a few weeks of literally sticking to my points ( and eat enough protein, veg n fruit) and then I'll look into the low GL thing again.

Is TTC trying to conceive? That's my reason for dieting, the wedding is actually just incidental. I'm only 23, and like you I've got PCOS but I've never got TOTMs except for 6 months on LT and randomly the last 3 months (trying desperately to contain my hope and excitement). Fertility and starting a family young has always been to the forefront of my mind. I usually gave new bfs a trial by fire because I needed to weed out those commitment phobes in the first few days and not waste any time. I met my fiance over 3 years ago, moved in together 8 months later and when I told him in November that I wanted a baby asap, he said "Grand" but his conditions were that 1) we got married first, 2)that I didn't risk my health or the baby's by being an unhealthy weight during my pregnancy and 3) we lived life as much as we could in the meantime. He then asked me to marry him a couple of weeks later. So I'll be married just after my 25th birthday and hopefully will be holding my first child by my 27th! :fingerscrossed:

Are you trying at the moment or waiting until closer to ur goal weight?
Have u been to see ur PCOS doctor recently? The last time I was at mine, I was 4 stone lighter and she strongly advised me not to try until I was lighter! *sigh*

Last time i saw a dr about my pcos was about 2 years ago, since then ive been up and down with my weight and am about the same weight i was 2 years ago which is pretty upsetting considering that I did get down to 19st 2lb just before my wedding last year. I was told to get my BMI to around somewhere in the 30's before they doctors would help my try for a baby again, (have previously had clomid which didnt do anything for me) they said they would put me back on clomid after I lost the weight. But the thing that is really getting to me at the moment is that i have 2 friends (both weigh around 20 stone or more) and they are both pregnant! and were told that being overweight didnt mean you couldnt be pregnant! I know I have the added problem of PCOS but it just seems like sometimes its so unfair. Me and my husband have been together over 9 years now and been trying for about 7 years on and off, I turned 30 in december so am really starting to get paranoid that it wont happen at all!
Although im trying to think positive, im seem to be having more totm's now since shifting some weight (my heaviest was 23stone) there not quite regular but at least im having them!! sometimes I would go without one for 8 months or so. Ive been reading up on what things help increase fertility in myself and hubby, and have bought a home testing kit to check if we are both fertile before we go any further. I do aim to loose as much weight as possible before we do try and am hoping to start trying in May.
Ive just ordered a book from ebay called the low GI guide to managing PCOS so will be reading into all that when it arrives.
